An inspection assesses condition within a stated scope; an estimate prices proposed work. A visit can include both, but the deliverables should be clear. A free estimate should not be assumed to include a detailed written condition report.
What to do next
Ask what will be examined, whether photographs and a report are included, and what limitations apply. Explain the purpose of the visit before scheduling. A buyer, owner, or building manager may need different documentation from someone requesting a price for known work.
